On Wednesday, Nov 3rd, I have the honor of appearing at the NJPAC in Newark for the 8th annual Concert for Kids to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey. The concert, which will be my only New York area appearance this year, will be hosted by Jersey’s own, Joe Piscopo, the former Saturday Night Live comedian and entertainer, who is the volunteer spokesperson for Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey.

I know Joe well---very funny guy--- and his dedication to his beloved Boys and Girls Club of New Jersey (serving over 120 thousand kids) is phenomenal. So my foundation, the MBC, has donated a block of seats for 20 plus kids...and I have made my personal donation as well.


I am asking you here to support this amazing event. There is no contribution too small, and for those of you most awesome fans who wish to help—tickets are still available as are sponsorships. Individual tickets can be purchased at the NJPAC box office at 1-888-GONJPAC or online at www.njpac.org. For more information on the Concert for Kids, visit www.bgcnj.org or call 201-882-3812. Sponsorships are also available and include a reception and the show.


So come on Wednesday night and lend a hand to an amazing organization that assist youth achieve their full potential!! This year’s focus is especially important- as the funds raised through the concert are distributed to each local Boys & Girls Club in New Jersey to support their Fund-A-Dream Program. Clubs identify dreamers and, in addition to providing emotional support and encouragement, they will provide what is often the last barrier, financial assistance. Through this program, Boys & Girls Clubs are able to cultivate and support a special talent or interest and, in so doing, encourage a young person to aim for heights previously thought unattainable.


A dream can be as simple as wanting to learn how to swim at summer camp, or as grand as wanting to attend Juilliard. Dreams may include striving to become the first college graduate in one's family, or hoping to attend an elite training program in dance or music. Realized dreams are a powerful tool in building self esteem. They create entrepreneurs with innovative ideas, teachers with the power to influence students, and artists with the ability to portray beauty through expression. So, come on, see a great show and help a child’s dream come true!

Dear Michael,
sometimes it is really embarassing not having a private airplane ( yet :)
It would be wonderful to fly tomorrow to NJ and to join you and your friends at this great event.
( So close to Manhattan and all NY, I am sure there will be no tickets available very soon. )
Sweet Regards, Sweet Balloons of Dreams,
from across the Ocean,
Maria N.

Dear Michael Bolton Admin:
Hi. I realize that this sounds a bit stalkerish and I apologize in advance :), but I was just wondering if there is any way to get or win, or purchase a back stage pass for the concert tomorrow? I've been a Michael Bolton fan for the past 20 years, ever since I was 10. Growing up, I always made my mom buy me all the albums, and take me to the concerts, and pay for my fan club memebership and etc...So I decided to surprise her and fly in from California and take her to the concert for ones. The only thing that would make the experience is better is maybe getting a photo with or even just an autograph from Michael. Anyways, I just thought I'd ask, thanks for reading and I apologize if this is outta place!
Anna
